1Shares

Prepare for your road trip properly by making the perfect snacks to enjoy on the road. There’s so much planning that goes into a road trip, so don’t let snacks be another factor to stress about. Instead, make some snacks that are quick, easy and most importantly, tasty. With only a few ingredients and directions, these recipes can be made the night before your trip.

These are 5 easy snack recipes to make for your road trip:

Energy bars

No need to buy granola bars. Do it yourself with these homemade energy bars. All you need are three ingredients and about 10 minutes.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Serves: 8 large bars or 15 small square-shaped bars

Ingredients:

1 cup nuts (raw or roasted)

1 cup fruit

1 cup (12-15 whole) pitted dried dates

Directions:

Combine the nuts, dried fruit and dates in a food processor. Process continuously until all ingredients are broken down into crumb sized pieces and then until ingredients cling together and gather into balls (about 2 minutes).

Press into a thick square, roughly 8”x8” in size. Wrap and chill for at least an hour.

Divide the chilled dough into squares and wrap each bar in wax paper or plastic wrap.

Tip: these bars will stay fresh for three months if stored in a freezer or fridge. Room-temperature bars are also good to eat, meaning either you can keep these bars in a bag or in a cooler on your road trip for a quick snack.

Breakfast cookies

A perfect snack to have for breakfast. Save money on the road by preparing these cookies for your trip instead of stopping for breakfast.
